You make good points. It looks like the mentality was to clean up in the first few seasons. I didn't see the tank coming in the second season but I understand it.
It doesn't mean that they are not aware of the situation and it has always been part of the game plan. You as a fan are not happy about it but I respect it. It is frustrating to see your team get destroyed.
I think it will all make sense in a few seasons or it will crash and burn and the owners hit the reset button again.
We are in a tank season I think.
